Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure is a Sonic the Hedgehog game for the short-lived Neo Geo Pocket Color handheld console. It was released in late 1999 and stands as Sega's only contribution to an SNK platform.
Sonic Pocket Adventure can be seen as a "hybrid" Sonic game, rather than a brand new release. Its levels are mostly inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive, though some share elements from the first game and the majority of the music is recycled from Sonic the Hegehog 3. Some tunes are also recycled from the Sega Saturn compilation Sonic Jam. It is not a straight port of any of these games, however, as it introduces brand new bosses, a "puzzle" mode and a few original soundtracks of its own.
Sonic Pocket Adventure is the only game in the series to successfully mix the modern post-Sonic Adventure design of Sonic with his classic Mega Drive-style counterpart. The in-game graphics look similar to the classic style, while on the title screen and other up-close artwork Sonic resembles his modern design that debuted in Sonic Adventure. This mix of styles also applies to Dr. Eggman - in the early levels he has his original design, but he switches to his Sonic Adventure design on Sonic reaching his base.
A one-level demo of Sonic Pocket Adventure was released, and features cutscenes not present in the final game; see Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure: Trial.
